GKN Aerospace

GKN Aerospace is gearing up to begin production of its first load-bearing additive-manufactured components.

Bringing aerospace engineering to bear on cell technology promises to unlock improvements.

The investment will support maintenance of the General Electric F414 engines that equip Sweden’s new Gripen E fighters and older F404 engines on its Gripen C/D.

With a 1-kilovolt, 2.5-megawatt electrical system, the Lilium Jet needs new wiring interconnection systems, which will be developed by GKN Aerospace.

Vertical Aerospace has completed initial tethered hover testing of a full-scale demonstrator for its VX4 electric vertical takeoff and landing air taxi.

Aimed at enabling single-aisle airliners to burn carbon-free hydrogen in turbine engines, GKN Aerospace is leading a two-year Swedish-funded research project.

A Bell V-280 tiltrotor has become the first aircraft to fly with GKN thermoplastic composite parts made from recycled waste material.
